Jaya Bachchan fixes daughter Shweta's hair, hugs Kajol, Tanishaa; fans ask why Aishwarya is never seen at pandalTwitter

It's Durga Sashti today, and the Maa Durga celebrations continue at Mumbai's North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja pandal, which witnessed several celebrity visits. Kajol, Ayan Mukerji, Jaya Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan were among those in attendance.

Jaya Bachchan arrived at the pandal with her daughter, Shweta Bachchan, while Kajol's children, Nysa and Yug, also visited to seek blessings.

Videos and photos from the Durga Puja pandal have been doing the rounds on social media. In a video, Jaya Bachchan is seen with her daughter, Shweta, as they seek blessings. A clip also shows Jaya fixing Shweta's hair. She was seen smiling and greeting everyone at the pandal. Jaya also posed for pictures with Kajol.

Jaya wore an off-white saree, while Shweta opted for an ivory saree with a red border.

The mother-daughter duo of Jaya and Shweta posed for the paparazzi, and their appearance at the pandal led netizens to question the absence of Jaya's daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Many pointed out that they had rarely seen Aishwarya accompanying Jaya Bachchan at the pandal.

Kajol and her sister, Tanishaa Mukerji, were also present at the pandal. Jaya posed for photographs with Kajol, her cousin and filmmaker Ayan Mukerji, and others.

Kajol posed with Nysa and Yug in front of the idol of Maa Durga. She also shared a sweet moment with her son that caught fans' attention. For the occasion, Kajol chose a mustard-yellow saree featuring orange hues and an embellished zari border. She paired it with a gold-toned striped blouse and completed her traditional look with gold jhumkas. Nysa, meanwhile, opted for an elegant powder-blue silk saree, while Yug wore a light blue and white kurta-pyjama.

Meanwhile, Rani Mukerji, who lost her mother, Krishna Mukerji, in September, has not yet been seen at the Durga Puja celebrations.

During a press conference in Mumbai days before the Durga Puja celebrations, Tanishaa urged the paparazzi and the public to maintain decorum at the pandal.

"There's going to be a lot more footfall, so I definitely request everybody in the media and the public to please take care of each other. Don't forget that there is humanity. Don't forget that there is humanity because a lot of people push, especially to go to the pandal and all, so just be careful and take care of each other," she said.

Tanishaa also jokingly warned the paparazzi against troubling Jaya Bachchan.

"Don't trouble our Jaya aunty this time. Y'all are troubling her a lot; please don't trouble her. Aap log bahut badmash ho, kuch aapke photographers joh purposely jaa ke chabi lagate hai. Mat karo humari Puja mein please," she said, adding that some photographers deliberately provoked Jaya and asking them not to do so during the celebrations.
